The Baker Arms

About

The Baker’s Arms is a quintessential Cotswold village pub steeped in history, tracing its origins back to the 15th‑century bakery that once stood on the site. Today, under the care of the Paxton family and the culinary duo Ruth and Paul May, it offers a warm, community‑oriented atmosphere where locals and visitors alike can enjoy hearty British dishes, an extensive drinks list, and a roaring fireplace in a charming, Grade II‑listed building. Pet‑friendly, free Wi‑Fi and a welcoming first‑floor terrace mean the pub is a perfect spot for a relaxed meal with a four‑legged friend. During the holiday season The Baker’s Arms hosts a host of special events, from festive pub quizzes and carol‑singing to a reindeer hunt in the village, many of which are free or come with a small fee of £2 per person. To secure a table you can book in advance via the contact page – a £10 deposit per person is required no later than seven days before the visit, ensuring you a place even on busy evenings. Open daily from 12 pm to 11 pm (10 pm on Sundays), the pub is a staple of Somerford Keynes, offering a genuine slice of Cotswold country life with historic charm and modern convenience.
